Hi Sara, I recommend that you talk to the veterinarian who prescribed the medication about your concerns with the medication. As with all medications, there can be side effects with the Nexgard and the risk can vary depending on your pet’s unique medical history. However, these medications are safe in the vast majority of dogs and as your vet knows your pet, they can talk to you more about the risks and benefits of using the medication in your pet. It is concerning that the area has not started to improve and your vet can also talk to you about that and if any other treatment is needed.
